“. . . it occurs to me that people who have a passion for naturism are, in fact, passionate!  Not just about the right to enjoy nude recreation, but also to defend the nudist-naturist cause . . . Until we, Americans, can start grappling with some of the ethical and philosophical tenants of the naturist idea . . . it seems to me that we don’t have much hope for gaining acceptance in mainstream society.” - https://meanderingnaturist.wordpress.com/2014/06/

“In a non-textilist culture, it is clothing that must be justified, not nudity.  This still doesn’t mean that you would be nude all the time.  It means that nudity would be recognized as the proper ‘default’ status of the body, which would be adorned only by mindful, intentional choice according to one’s circumstances.  The decision to not wear clothing would be morally neutral and without stigma or any negative or automatic sexual connotation.” - https://medium.com/@reformnaturism/what-do-you-call-the-opposite-of-nudism-537375d41db7#.vh5dbarpm

“When I was eleven and joined the Scouts, our troop had monthly swims. . . Our troop had agreements with at least four school pools.  It only cost us 50 cents to swim for two hours. . .

“From wearing a little clothing, to tan lines, to forgetting when we last had tan lines, there are many stages we go through to become a social nudist.  What stage are you at?” - http://thenakedtao.tumblr.com/post/139430110217/madeinthenude-the-stages-from-wearing-a

“We trap our skin beneath tight undergarments, shoes, socks, jeans, button-ups, suits, jackets, scarves, hats, and so much more.  We spend our entire day hindering our bodies from airing out.  Not providing your body proper breathing room can have some downsides, including clogged pores, skin diseases like athlete’s foot and Intertrigo, and for women, wearing underwear while you sleep traps bacteria and yeast.  So when you take it off, you allow your skin to cleanse, and you lessen your chances of yeast infections.” - https://nudeverywhere.wordpress.com/2016/03/15/6-reasons-sleeping-naked-is-good-for-your-health-collective-evolution/
